7 Commits • 2 Features
May 1, 2025May 2025—the team delivered stability and correctness improvements in Reduce2 and histidine handling within cctbx_project, along with onboarding-oriented documentation updates. Key features delivered include enhanced flipkin generation that tracks probe CLI arguments and updated build/run guidance. Major bugs fixed include histidine hydrogen-bond handling, Unflipped CLI parsing in Reduce2, and improvements to probe2 test reliability. Reverted the default probe radius to 0.0 for backward compatibility to avoid disrupting existing workflows. The work reduces downstream errors, improves reproducibility, and clarifies dependencies for researchers using Reduce2 and related tools.
